    Some struggles apparent making the blog work in the git history. I can read along here, https://github.com/nottrobin/robinwinslow.uk/blob/main/_articles/tech-fantasies-and-imposter-syndrome.md https://github.com/nottrobin/robinwinslow.uk/blob/main/_arti... There's another attempt to repush things up here, seems the same, https://github.com/nottrobin/robinwinslow.uk/blob/main/_articles/tf.md https://github.com/nottrobin/robinwinslow.uk/blob/main/_arti...

        No problem! I love being able to read the commit log & see the wip.

  The description is everything. It has a more local target with where it goes, but the starting premise has repercussions that shake this civilization deeply, I in countless ways: > Software is opaque, unknowable. This ain't just about software practitioners, it's about mankind having built a far off remote invisible kingdom that actually is 4 dimensionally (many dimensionally) all around us all the time. This IMO is the only interesting fight now. Theres trends & tech & control happening that matters, but this question is mostly social, mostly cultural, of whether we walk forever into proprietary consumerized walled gardens, or whether the general project of computing finds a stake where it can uncloak & reveal a true self to the public, whether we can find good common roots to express ourselves with, that can be useful to everyone not wearing developer monk robes.

    Yes, completely agree. It did occur to me that I could have taken this into the political realm but decided to keep it bounded in software practice itself for now. Maybe a follow-up soon.
